I noticed a poster up in the Alida Post Office reminding those who attended Alida School in Grade 9 for a Class reunion on July 8.

Welcome to Alida

ALIDA - Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley joined up with Kelsey and Lacie and they all participated in the Dog Jog at Estevan on Sunday, June 12.

There is not too much news happening right now, it seems that the fellas are all busy with spraying as soon as the weather co-operates. Darn wind always seems to be blowing, which of course is needed to help dry up any puddles that Mother Nature left behind during her rain showers. We had another nice rain Sunday evening. Definitely keeping the men folk busy, here’s hoping for suitable weather this week.

I noticed a poster up in the Alida Post Office reminding those who attended Alida School in Grade 9 for a Class reunion on July 8. They plan on meeting at the Alida Rink in the afternoon to set up, hosting a potluck cold plate supper and a great time for reminiscing “the good old days”. Remember to bring any mementos, pictures etc. If interested in attending please contact Brenda Poulsen/McGillis at 403-704-4371 or by e-mailing her at brenda6100@live.com by June 28. There’s camping available at the Lion’s Campsite, to reserve a spot call the MLA office (306) 443-4400. Hope to see everyone about and about that weekend – it should be “A Great Time in the Old Town” that day.

Hope all dads, grandads, uncles, brothers, step-dads etc. had a great day on Sunday, June 19.
